Ok not yet but I did get an email from them yesterday saying they are now selling coffee type stuff 😆

Love Coffee?

So do we. We also love bikes. And we love making stuff.
Combine the three and what do you get?

The new Superstar Components coffee range.

Premium coffee tampers in a hub or headset design.
Available in a range of colours and sizes with a curve or flat bottom.

good lord so they have.

I hope they haven’t built up to much stock. That looks destined for 50% off in 6 months time.

Bad to admit liking those?

nothing against coffee lovers, but just re-stock your **** brake pads please superstar!

Superstar have said lots of times they won’t restock brake pads. Can’t blame them. No margin and lots of competition.

Well they might have told me.

🙁

Priced for the 70% off sale I see.

Perhaps they ****ed up a batch of hubs.

</cynic>

^^^ well it worked for CK

Haven’t had any problems with superstar other than they sell out of steel freehubs too quickly…

Tampers look OK. I like the gumph: “Professionally weighted”.

Could have just said “Heavy”.

You’re reading it wrong. It’s “professionally weighted” i.e. it’s someone’s job to weight them. Not “professional weight” i.e. hefty

They are also making parts for the new Stanton bikes full suspension bike.

I must have missed the memo on tbat!

These sorts of things come around now and again. Park made a pizza cutter, hope made salt and pepper shakers from Hub bodies and there’s been more.

Unfortunately if it doesn’t pay the bills it doesn’t pay the bills. Would you invest £150k in brake pads which don’t sell?

Suicidal competitors kinda killed it

We don’t make pads in the uk plus the market is saturated with people flogging pads for below their manufacturing cost. Makes it pointless to carry on selling them

From Facebook last week.

Fair enough, the Uberbike resin ones seem about the same quality TBF.

That’s a shame, they were the only non-OE pads I trusted, been using them exclusively for 10 years I think.

I must have to buy genuine Shimano pads from now on – the horror!

One might believe they’re using warranty returns turned into a fancy gimick for a sideline range.

Oh the cynic in me…

Try disco brakes. Their Kevlar compound pads are great

wtf, no 58.5mm bases. I’m out.

And restock their slackset headsets…..
